MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES AT DALLAS MAVERICKS WED 1/28 FINAL

It was a slow start to the season, but that is nothing new for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The chemistry has evolved for the better at this point of the season. There is a direct impact on when Minnesota creates more turnovers. The win percentage is significantly higher. In November, the Wolves played 15 games in which they averaged 19.7 points off of turnovers per game. Cross that with days-rest and Minnesota is at their best with only one day's rest. Another team improvement has come on the team's transition play. The team has went from a Top twenty to a Top ten in NBA rankings. 

The Timberwolves just seem to follow a good win with a bad loss. Good teams should beat bad times. With that being said, losing to a 9-19 team is not a good look. These are the games they need to win. I get it. It's the NBA and teams have a bad game or night, but Minnesota needs to limit those types of losses. Those are the games that could determine seeding come playoff time and more importantly matchups. Success in the NBA is to be consistent and efficient. Minnesota has had back-to-back Western Conference appearances and it's time to take the next step before the window of opportunity closes.
